Question 1

What exactly does core aeration do to my lawn?

Accepted Answer

Core aeration uses a specialized machine to pull small plugs of soil out of your lawn, leaving behind hundreds of small holes across the surface. These openings allow water, air, fertilizer, and nutrients to reach the roots directly — relieving compaction and giving your grass space to grow. The soil plugs left on the surface break down naturally within a few weeks.

Question 2

Does core aeration help with drainage issues?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. It improves water movement through the soil, reducing pooling and runoff.

Question 3

When is the best time to aerate my lawn?

Accepted Answer

For New Brunswick lawns, spring and fall are the ideal times to aerate. Fall aeration is especially effective because it sets your lawn up for stronger spring growth. Lawns with heavy clay soil or high traffic often benefit from aeration twice per year — once in spring and once in fall.

Question 4

How often should my lawn be aerated?

Accepted Answer

Most lawns benefit from aeration at least once a year. Lawns with compacted soil, high foot traffic, pets, or heavy clay may need it twice annually. Lawns in newer subdivisions (where construction compacted the soil) almost always benefit from more frequent aeration in the first few years.

Question 5

Will my lawn look damaged after aeration?

Accepted Answer

You'll see small soil plugs scattered across your lawn for a week or two after the treatment — this is completely normal and a sign the job was done right. The plugs break down on their own and return nutrients to the soil. Within two to three weeks, your lawn will look noticeably healthier than before.
